PING:
The bison accepts the option, --header-file=whatever.h
"ylwrap" is a wrapper script meant to canonicalize the invocation
of yacc and bison. True enough, if you use --header-file you
had better be using bison, but here is the problem:
I am working on a project that will only build in a GNU tools environment.
Therefore, I know that the .l -> .c transformation tool is flex, not
POSIX lex. The code I am working with presumes that it can use this:
AM_LFLAGS = @LEX_FL@ --header-file=$(LEX_HEADER) -DYY_NO_INPUT=1
So ylwrap fires off the flex program and it runs just fine, the tiny
problem is that it also removes the temporary directory before I can
salvage the generated header. This is inconvenient.
So is this:
diff --git a/bootstrap.sh b/bootstrap.sh
